The best kind of medicine around is laughter, of course. Laughter makes everything feel a little better, like if something bad is happening, and you make a joke about it, even if it's for a second that bad thing feels a little better. Humor is a coping mechanism for many, and for good reason, too. So what better way to face the realities of the world than with some funny and sad memes.

These kinds of memes deal with things that are super real, like becoming an adult, the economy, and the state of the world, and pairing it with a funny meme or joke to make it feel less real. It's a good reminder that everyone is going through the same things for the most part, so there is no point in feeling bad about being behind or struggling a bit because most people are. Reddit's /r/funnyandsad is a subreddit that contains memes of this kind exactly, ones that are very real, in a silly way. Here are 25 of them to make you feel less alone.
